It is a regularly occurring and official count of a particular population.

Furthermore, on low pin count devices in particular, each pin may interface to several internal peripherals, with the pin function selected by software.

Many disk operating systems maintain a count of the number of references to any particular block or file.

In particular, Scheffler suggests that there is an ‘ agent-centered prerogative ’ such that when the overall utility is being calculated it is permitted to count our own interests more heavily than the interests of others.

He now expresses views to the effect that simplicity considerations ( and considerations of parsimony in particular ) do not count unless they reflect something more fundamental.

By itself, hop count is not a useful metric for determining the optimum network path, as it does not take into consideration the speed, load, reliability, or latency of any particular hop, but merely the total count.

American terminology is slightly different, in that the term " claim " refers only to a particular count ( or cause of action ) in a lawsuit.

) Typically, features are either categorical ( also known as nominal, i. e. consisting of one of a set of unordered items, such as a gender of " male " or " female ", or a blood type of " A ", " B ", " AB " or " O "), ordinal ( consisting of one of a set of ordered items, e. g. " large ", " medium " or " small "), integer-valued ( e. g. a count of the number of occurrences of a particular word in an email ) or real-valued ( e. g. a measurement of blood pressure ).

The most important of these was the comes palatinus, the count palatine, who in Merovingian and Carolingian times ( 5th through 10th century ) was an official of the sovereign's household, in particular of his court of law in the imperial palaces ( see kaiserpfalz ).

In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as he or she was or will be at another time despite any intervening changes.

Each entry in the table contains the frequency or count of the occurrences of values within a particular group or interval, and in this way, the table summarizes the distribution of values in the sample.

* Whether to count only those who actively " practice " a particular religion

* Whether to count only those who expressly self-identify with a particular denomination

: Your letter of yesterday is received & I hasten to answer as fully as I can -- Joseph Smith Jr first come to my notice in the year 1824 in the summer of that year I contracted with his father to build a fence on my property in the corse of that work I approach Joseph & ask how it is in a half day you put up what requires your father & 2 brothers a full day working together he says I have not been with out assistance but can not say more only you better find out the next day I take the older Smith by the arm & he says Joseph can see any thing he wishes by looking at a stone Joseph often sees Spirits here with great kettles of coin money it was Spirits who brought up rock because Joseph made no attempt on their money I latter dream I converse with spirits which let me count their money when I awake I have in my hand a dollar coin which I take for a sign Joseph describes what I seen in every particular says he the spirits are grieved so I through back the dollar in the fall of the year 1827 I hear Joseph found a gold bible I take Joseph aside & he says it is true I found it 4 years ago with my stone but only just got it because of the enchantment the old spirit come to me 3 times in the same dream & says dig up the gold but when I take it up the next morning the spirit transfigured himself from a white salamander in the bottom of the hole & struck me 3 times & held the treasure & would not let me have it because I lay it down to cover over the hole when the spirit says do not lay it down Joseph says when can I have it the spirit says one year from to day if you obay me look to the stone after a few days he looks the spirit says bring your brother Alvin Joseph says he is dead shall I bring what remains but the spirit is gone Joseph goes to get the gold bible but the spirit says you did not bring your brother you can not have it look to the stone Joseph looks but can not see who to bring the spirit says I tricked you again look to the stone Joseph looks & sees his wife on the 22d day of Sept 1827 they get the gold bible -- I give Joseph $ 50 to move him down to Pa Joseph says when you visit me I will give you a sign he gives me some hiroglyphics I take then to Utica Albany & New York in the last place Dr Mitchel gives me an introduction to Professor Anthon says he they are short hand Egyption the same what was used in ancient times bring me the old book & I will translate says I it is made of precious gold & is sealed from view says he I can not read a sealed book -- Joseph found some giant silver specticles with the plates he puts them in an old hat & in the darkness reads the words & in this way it is all translated & written down -- about the middle of June 1829 Joseph takes me together with Oliver Cowdery & David Whitmer to have a view of the plates our names are appended to the book of Mormon which I had printed with my own money -- space and time both prevent me from writing more at present if there is any thing further you wish to inquire I shall attend to it

In particular, the learner is expected to find efficient functions ( time and space requirements bounded to a polynomial of the example size ), and the learner itself must implement an efficient procedure ( requiring an example count bounded to a polynomial of the concept size, modified by the approximation and likelihood bounds ).

If people eligible for public housing are likely to vote for a particular party, then they can either be concentrated into one electorate, thus making their votes count for less, or moved into marginal electorates, where they may tip the balance towards their preferred party.

In particular, philosophy seems to lack the sort of developments that Thomas Kuhn called paradigms — achievements which, by their success, clearly determine which sort of questions are to be asked and what sort of considerations count as evidence for or against answers to those questions.

One way of putting the worry might be this: for something to count as a paradigm just is for it to be the sort of achievement that cuts off certain sorts of foundational worries about the essential nature of the subject-matter and the validity of particular methods for studying it ; but these sorts of foundational worries are quintessentially philosophical worries.

( Generally, a decision is made beforehand that some states will pass in the first round, in order to allow a particular state – generally either the Presidential or Vice-Presidential nominee's home state – to be the one whose delegate count pushes the candidate " over the top ", thus securing the nomination.

There were other purposes: the close-order drill was a particular cadence count for the complex sequence of loading and firing a musket.

In this way, the ways in which a particular count word can be used is generally very open-ended and up to the construal or creativity of the speaker.

Some sources supply estimates of particular Romanian American community populations which are considerably higher than the most recently-available U. S. census count.

In particular, for, the generalized mean inequality implies the Pythagorean means inequality as well as the inequality of arithmetic and geometric means.

Two ’ s complement arithmetic is convenient because there is a perfect one-to-one correspondence between representations and values ( in particular, no separate + 0 and − 0 ), and because addition, subtraction and multiplication do not need to distinguish between signed and unsigned types.

In particular, for any consistent, effectively generated formal theory that proves certain basic arithmetic truths, there is an arithmetical statement that is true ,< ref > The word " true " is used disquotationally here: the Gödel sentence is true in this sense because it " asserts its own unprovability and it is indeed unprovable " ( Smoryński 1977 p. 825 ; also see Franzén 2005 pp. 28 – 33 ).

Gödel demonstrated the incompleteness of the theory of Principia Mathematica, a particular theory of arithmetic, but a parallel demonstration could be given for any effective theory of a certain expressiveness.

Moreover, Gödel's second incompleteness theorem shows that the consistency of sufficiently strong effective theories of arithmetic can be tested in a particular way.

It is now common to interpret Hilbert's second question as asking in particular for a proof that Peano arithmetic is consistent.

In particular, arguably the greatest achievement of metamathematics and the philosophy of mathematics to date is Gödel's incompleteness theorem: proof that given any finite number of axioms for Peano arithmetic, there will be true statements about that arithmetic that cannot be proved from those axioms.

In particular, if X is irreducible and has dimension r, the arithmetic genus of X is given by

A typical reverse mathematics theorem shows that a particular mathematical theorem T is equivalent to a particular subsystem S of second order arithmetic over a weaker subsystem B.

describes five particular subsystems of second order arithmetic, which he calls the Big Five, that occur frequently in reverse mathematics.

In particular, based on the Selberg trace formula for PSL ( 2, R ) and PSL ( 2, C ), constructed examples of isospectral, non-isometric closed hyperbolic 2-manifolds and 3-manifolds as quotients of hyperbolic 2-space and 3-space by arithmetic subgroups, constructed using quaternion algebras associated with quadratic extensions of the rationals by class field theory.

* Control Unit ( CU )-decodes the program instruction in the IR, selecting machine resources such as a data source register and a particular arithmetic operation, and coordinates activation of those resources

In particular, if A is a sentence of arithmetic then True ( g ( A )) holds in N if and only if A is true in N. Hence for all A, the Tarski T-sentence True ( g ( A )) ↔ A is true in N. But the diagonal lemma yields a counterexample to this equivalence, by giving a " Liar " sentence S such that S ↔ ¬ True ( g ( S )) holds.

It also makes it possible to guarantee that arithmetic results will be the same on all machines, regardless of any particular machine's word size.

* An easy consequence of Gödel's incompleteness theorem is that there is no complete consistent extension of even Peano arithmetic with a recursively enumerable set of axioms, so in particular most interesting mathematical theories are not complete.

A major feature of C99 is its numerics support, and in particular its support for access to the features of IEEE 754 ( also known as IEC 60559 ) floating point hardware present in the vast majority of modern processors ( defined in " Annex F IEC 60559 floating-point arithmetic ").

The reason for choosing these particular values is that with a 32 bit integer word size the arithmetic of mod 2 < sup > 31 </ sup > and calculations could be done quickly.

In particular, Jensen proved the consistency of NFU relative to Peano arithmetic ; meanwhile, the consistency of NF relative to anything remains an open problem.

In recent years his research has led him to study various aspects of arithmetic geometry: in particular, he and his collaborators have demonstrated how geometric properties of zeros of integral polynomials in many variables can be determined by the behaviour of associated L-functions.

This is done by copying the ideas from the ANSI / IEEE-754 standard for fixed-precision floating-point arithmetic ( correct rounding and exceptions, in particular ).

The goal of loop unwinding is to increase a program's speed by reducing ( or eliminating ) instructions that control the loop, such as pointer arithmetic and " end of loop " tests on each iteration ; reducing branch penalties ; as well as " hiding latencies, in particular, the delay in reading data from memory ".

To say that there are " arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions of prime numbers " does not mean that there is any infinitely long arithmetic progression of prime numbers ( there is not ), nor that there is any particular arithmetic progression of prime numbers that is in some sense " arbitrarily long ", but rather that no matter how large a number n is, there is some arithmetic progression of prime numbers of length at least n.
